You can add actions onto your barriers definitions by going to the “Actions” tab in an assessment.

Currently, actions can only be added to barrier definitions, but we may expand this functionality in the future.

Action graph

The action lists have headers that are divided into two parts. The “plus” button controls the expansion of the list, and the header itself links to an overview of either open or finished actions.

  • The open action graph is centered around today’s date, showing how much time remains before the action’s due date.

  • The finished action graph is centered around the action’s due date, allowing you to see how close the completion date was to the original deadline.

In review

In a review, actions can be viewed in two places:

  • Actions tab: similar to the definitions tab, you can include, add, edit, delete an action.

Warning

The only way to finish an action is outside a review, so this action needs to be unlock (not in an active review) to finish it.

  • Hazard tab: For each hazazrd you will have a panel “actions” on the side where you can add action.

This panel will list all the actions that are attached to any barrier definitions used on this specific hazard.

Also, once a barrier definitions is include in a review, you add action to this barrier directly when editing a barrier component.
